Yücel Kale was born in Istanbul in 1971. He graduated from Mimar Sinan University of Fine Arts, Department of Sculpture (1993-2000). The artist believes that the reflections on his glass objects cut or break into pieces, giving them a new shape, are nothing but fragments of his existence. Yücel Kale exhibited his works independently or in group exhibitions at many shows and exhibitions. He won Second Prize at the Sakip Sabancı Art Awards in sculpture (2000).
